List of Crushstation Designs

  • Red - The classic Crushstation body ran at most shows. It has been run on the truck since it’s debut in 2009.
  • Blue - A blue variant of truck, it debuted in 2014. It has mainly competed at shows in Greg’s home state of Maine, but it was ran for a few shows in the summer of 2019 for Crushstations 10th Anniversary.
  • 10th Anniversary/RAW - Bassd off a raw lobster, ran only for Crushtations 10th Anniversary. It debuted in 2019 and has since been retired.

Trivia

Bluelobster1

Blue lobsters like this one are what Chrushstation's blue body is derived from

.

  • The blue lobster design of Crushtation is derived from the fact that blue lobsters do in fact exist in real life. It may also be derived from the fact that lobsters, unlike most organisms, and like snails and spiders, have blue blood, not red blood. This is due to the presence of hemocyanin, which contains copper.
  • While Greg and the truck don't compete in Monster Jam anymore, die cast toys are still made by the toy companies related to the league. This might sign a possible comeback, however, when the team left the aforementioned league, there was agreement with unknown interests. A theory could be that the team would leave the league, only if they still produced die casts of the truck.
  • During some shows, Greg’s dog is present at the pit party and can often be found mingling with the fans or sleeping in the trucks rims.
